Thermax Ltd., based in Pune, India, and Ceres Power Holdings plc from Horsham, U.K., have joined forces in a strategic collaboration to boost the deployment of green hydrogen production technology. This collaboration involves a non-exclusive, global license agreement for Thermax to manufacture, sell, and service stack array modules (SAM) and other advanced electrolyzer modules based on Ceres' solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC) technology. The main focus of this partnership is to develop systems that are significantly more efficient than existing low-temperature electrolysis technologies, specifically targeting hard-to-abate industries such as ammonia, steel, refineries, and chemical production for decarbonization. Thermax plans to leverage its expertise in heat integration and waste heat recovery to create a pressurized SAM and SAM balance of modules (SBM), essential for multi-megawatt SOEC electrolyzer module development. Ashish Bhandari, the Managing Director & CEO of Thermax, expressed enthusiasm about this collaboration, highlighting the importance of embracing green hydrogen as India aims for significant renewable energy targets by 2030. He sees this partnership as a step towards providing efficient and cost-effective hydrogen production solutions to accelerate the energy transition. Ceres Power also values this partnership as a strategic move to expand its global network of partners and stimulate market demand for their technology through licensees like Thermax. This agreement signifies a significant step for both companies in contributing to industrial decarbonization and driving sustainable solutions for hard-to-abate industries. With plans for a manufacturing facility and localized supply chain development, Thermax is poised to become a key player in the large-scale SOEC systems market, offering innovative solutions for green hydrogen production.
